ABSTRACT
The paper is devoted to the results of a study of the health status of the adult population in western districts of the Bryansk area, exposed to radiation fall-outs as a result of the Chernobyl accident, as presented by medical doctors and researchers of hospitals, research institutes, and the republican health services. The paper also deals with information on demographic processes and the level and state of health service in these regions. Analysis of the health status provides no opportunity to detect diseases caused by exposure of the population to ionizing radiation.

The problem of a possible use of radionuclide methods of investigation (placentography and renography) in obstetrics was considered. Doses and permissible activities in pregnant women of the AP category belonging to groups at high risk of obstetric and perinatal pathology were worked out on the basis of the "Rules and standards of open radiopharmaceuticals in diagnostic purposes" (1984). The above investigations using the administration of short-lived radionuclides with total activity of 7.4 MBq (99mTc-albumin and DTPA) were shown to be safe for mother and fetus.

A double-sensor gamma-topograph model GSG-2 has been constructed to realize colour shade lining and black-and-white photographic registration of images reflecting spatial distribution of radioactive isotopes introduced to patients for diagnostic purposes. On the ground of trial tests the valuation of functional and clinical qualities of the device is given.
